lf' n ll Instant Impact ln only its second year of existence, the Cowgirls' soft- ball team hit and pitched their way to an 8-1 season. After a successful first sea- son record of 10-6, most feel that the team did a very good job of keeping with their win- ning ways. The team, headed by Coach Laura Springer, played with teams from a T.A.P.S. division because softball is not yet a U.l.L sport. With most of its players re' turning from last year, the team was led by the pitching of Jodi Burton and strong hit- ting all around. Most players felt that Coach Springer was also a key to their winning record. It was really a blast with Coach Springer as our coach, said sophomore Me- lanie Ferguson.

' ,,,. l Leading the Pack Cross country? Most peo- ple don't even know what it is, much less the commitment that it takes. Cross country is run on a path that is a combi- nation of hills, roads, dirt tsometimes mudl and fields. The boys' team placed third in the district meet, only three points from the second place team and earned a spot at regionals. Individually, sophomore Michael Hoffman placed first STARTING LINE. Sophomore Claudia France prepares to start her race at a cross-country meet. at district, sixth at regionals and 40th at the state meet. Claudia France, also a sopho- more, placed fourth at dis- trict and was an alternate for regionals. I thought we did well, es- pecially considering that we never consistently worked out together, said Coach Diana Raines, Also, it was a big achievement for Mike flfioffmanl to go to the state meet as a sophomore. The team, although not as large as in the past, mostly agreed that they had a good season and that Coach Raines played a big role in their suc- cess. Coach Raines was very supportive of us, said Soph- omore Scott Sutherland, she even ran with us. STRETCHING IT OUT.

I 57 rfygd-fgIg,wgXf,X gQ',1h.'g,t'i?m' ff A , J Y I - State or Bust With district rival Wylie ranked first in the state, the Cowboys' baseball team knew that they had a tough schedule ahead of them when the '88 season began. But after sweeping Wylie and tak- ing the district title, all the Cowboys could do was look back and smile. Sweeping our state ranked rival Wylie gave us our two biggest wins of the year, said Head Coach Dave Curliss. After last year's loss at re- gionals, the Cowboys came back with an extra year of experience, which has result- ed in a balanced attack of hit- ting, pitching, and defense. And for the sixth year in a row, Coach Curliss took his Cowboys into the playoffs. We have seven seniors who have been to state twice, and this year we really want to win it, said senior Joe Or- man. The Cowboys have placed second and third at state in two out of the last three years. We've got the silver and bronze and we want the gold, said senior Billy Heis- roth. Having IO-run ruled over half of their district op- ponents and with a team bat- ting average over .400, Cow- boys became District 11-3A champions only to have the season end with a 3-2 loss against Lindon X Kildare in the first round of regional play- offs. --M--W-a--..,.....,,t,,,t.- -..,,.,.... ..., M., .W M..,r-,.,.., - .... i K K . .
